As one of the hypothetical principles in the Standard Model (SM), lepton flavor universality (LFU) should be measured with a precision as high as possible such that the physics violating this principle can be fully tested. The $Z$ factories at the future $e^-e^+$ colliders provide a great opportunity to perform this task because of their large statistics and high reconstruction efficiencies...
The technique of parity-violating electron scattering, involving measurements of the asymmetry in the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons off fixed targets, has become increasingly precise over the past three decades. Such asymmetries are sensitive to weak neutral current interactions (mediated by the Z boson) between electrons and quarks, or between two electrons, and can be...
